Hi Im getting these linker errors and I just cant seem to find anything that will work. Although I searched a few of the errors on here and heard that you need to add some addition depenecies so I went through of few of the search results and each one had a member that shared what depenencies I need to add so I did and I got rid of one section of the errors but theres still two more sections that still get these errors. I put the results below. If anyone at all can tell me what depenencies Im missing that would be great.

Thanks in advance, Daymer

Also if it helps, the program source that Im trying to compile is called BZFlag 2.0.10 (bzflag.org)
